Talk:Queensland School for Travelling Show Children

Sources

Whether this school is notable or not, is not up for debate. The issue focuses on whether sources can be found that meet Wikipedia's strict critera for inclusion of the article. Editors who propose pages for delete by debate often do a lot of research first per WP:BEFORE; this can help avoid wasting a lot of administrative and editing time and effort.

Pre-deletion request research for this article took over an hour. Of the results listed below, in spite of being reliable sources (recognised print media), not one item meets Wikipedia criteria for in-depth or significant coverage on the subject of this page.

Journal of research in rural education, Volume 18, University of Maine at Orono. College of Education, has a very brief mention on page 165

Patrick Alan Danaher, Máirín Kenny (2009),Traveller, nomadic, and migrant education, Routledge ISBN 0415963567 has a very brief mention of the name on page 209, and another even shorter mention in the acknowledgments section of the 240 page work.

Perhaps Wikipedia editors living near those libraries can go and take a look, but there is no guarantee that the subject will be mentioned. However, other sources might also be dscoverable, but with this, I have exhausted the time I can spend on it. Other editors will surely keep trying , and welcome any efforts that confirm without a doubt that the article conforms to policy.

QSTSC Closure

It was announced in the recent Queensland Budget that The Queensland School For Traveling Show Children would no longer receive funding and would be forced to close at the end of 2012. The students of QSTSC would be offered Distance Education (BSDE) as a replacement. BSDE has not been successful in the past. Many children, with weekly traveling and busy show life, can not keep up with the curriculum and fall behind making it extremely difficult to continue on to Secondary School. BSDE recognized this. So 1999, with Bipartisan support from State and Federal Governments, helped establish QSTSC. The Show community is shocked and saddened by this decision. QSTSC was a great success story, giving children continuity of teaching and education.

Website redacted because a) Wikipedia is not a place for promotion, b) change.org is on the spam blacklist, and c) the links are dead anyway. Primefac (talk) 16:56, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
